This was a fairly last minute costume after my planned one fell through. It was fairly simple to make. The biggest hurdles were the collar (my first) and the wig. The wig was purchased from ebay. It was dreaded, but the dreads were huge when I got it. So, I split the dreads into four pieces each, wound them tight, and blowdried them to melt them back together. The process took about three days to do the entire wig. whew! It worked very well, though in the future, I may put wire in the front dreads to keep them from laying flat on my face. I also plan to tighten the dress a bit, and redo the paint of the shoes, which flaked off as the days went by.

overall, this costume was a blast to do. Izumi is an awesome character, and I had a great time.
